In the present experiments the uptake and retrograde axonal transport of antibodies to dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) in adrenergic neurons was studied. When partially purified labelled antibodies to DBH were injected unilaterally into the vicinity of the adrenergic nerve terminals in the iris, radioactive substances accumulated preferentially in the superior cervical ganglia of the injected. By SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) gel electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation it could be shown that the accumulated radioactivity in the superior cervical ganglion represented antibodies to DBH. This retrograde accumulation was greatly reduced by colchicine, axotomy or destruction of the adrenergic nerve terminals by 6-hydroxydopamine. The rate of retrograde transport was the same as that of nerve growth factor (NGF) and tetanus toxin in sympathetic neurons. The retrograde transport of antibodies was confined to sympathetic neurons and could not be detect in either sensory or motor neurons.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the biliary tract are extremely rare due to a paucity of Kulchitsky cells. While their preoperative diagnosis remains challenging due to the lack of specific diagnostic markers and imaging findings, there have been no detailed reports describing the diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities for bile duct NETs at the junction of the cystic and common hepatic ducts. We report a case of a woman in her 40s who presented with jaundice and elevated hepatobiliary enzymes.

The uptake and intracellular trafficking of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) along the endolysosomal pathway leading to releasing compartments is critical for delivery efficiency. How the players of the processes interact with each other to affect LNP delivery remains unclear. Here, we employed a recently developed, highly sensitive LNP labeling platform in combination with defined-state of endolysosomal activity of cells to address this outstanding question with spatiotemporal analysis.

After uptake at the synapse, the protein is proposed to translocate from synaptic vesicles to the cytosol through a self-formed channel. Surprisingly, we found that after intoxication proteolysis of a fluorescent reporter occurs in the neuron soma first and then centrifugally in neurites.

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, significantly impairs the quality of life of women in their reproductive years; however, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. The accumulation of retrograde menstruation and recurrent bleeding fosters a high-iron environment in ectopic lesions, triggering ferroptosis in ectopic endometrial stromal cells (EESCs), thereby hindering the establishment of endometriosis. However, abnormal EESCs demonstrate resistance to ferroptosis in high-iron environments, promoting the progression of this disease.

In the dynamic environment of plants, the interplay between light-dependent growth and iron nutrition is a recurring challenge. Plants respond to low iron levels by adjusting growth and physiology through enhanced iron acquisition from the rhizosphere and internal iron pool reallocation. Iron deficiency response assays and gene co-expression networks aid in documenting physiological reactions and unraveling gene regulatory cascades, offering insight into the interplay between hormonal and external signaling pathways.
